Aftercare

- Epidermal heating (a sharply defined brownish
area which often occurs with darker skin tones
and is not accompanied with skin dryness): This
reaction occurs very rarely. In case this reaction
does not disappear within 1 week, we advise
you to consult a doctor. Wait with the next
treatment until the skin has healed completely
and make sure you use a lower light intensity.
- Blistering (looks like small bubbles on the
surface of the skin): this occurs very rarely. In
case this reaction does not disappear within 1
month or when the skin gets infected, we
advise you to consult a doctor. Wait with the
next treatment until the skin has healed
completely and make sure you use a lower light
intensity.
- Scarring: often the secondary effect of a burn,
which can take longer than a month to heal.
- Folliculitis (swelling around hair follicles
combined with pustule formation): this reaction
occurs very rarely and is the result of bacteria
penetrating the damaged skin. In case this
reaction occurs, we advise you to consult a
doctor as folliculitis may need antibiotic
ointment.
- Excessive pain: this can occur during or after
treatment if you have used the device on skin
that is not hair-free, if you use the device at a
light intensity that is too high for your skin tone,
if you flash the same area more than once and
if you use the device on open wounds,
inflammations, infections, tattoos, burns, etc.
After use, you can safely apply lotions, creams,
deodorant, moisturizer or cosmetics to the treated
areas. If you experience skin irritation or skin
redness after treatment, wait until it disappears
